Night Will Find You by Julia Heaberlin

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Let’s start with saying that the story was pretty good but there was so much going on. There’s the story arc with The Blue Horse. The story arc with the relationships with the Mike and Jesse. There’s the radio show guy and the grieving parents. There’s the astronomy stuff. There’s the charm bracelet case. There’s Lizzy. There’s so much! And it wasn’t too much because of trying to lay different possible suspects or motives. It was too much because there were too many story arcs so none of them felt like they got the attention they deserved.

The saving grace for me was the narrator. Her man voices are great. I nearly rounded up to 4 stars just because of the narration. But I didn’t. For me, the book was okay. I’d read another by the author because I did like the writing style and the protagonist’s voice. I would only hope that her next book be a bit more focused. Maybe this is the first of a series so the author tried to give us all the background she could? I don’t know.

Anyway, you may feel differently. Every reader is different.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for hooking me up!
